Hi guys,
So I downloaded 2 Roms of 6.1 found in this forum (the one from Dr Martin and the one from fireburned)
Now before flashing I have a question about the USPL.
I bought my phone factory unlocked. Do I still need to run that procedure before changing the rom?
Secondly, how do I backup my current ROM? (in case of it going bad)?
Thanks
mystical thing called search function
my recommendation, YES! but if you had used the search, you would had found out the answer yourself.... well, we all where new to this too, but a little bit of interest on the matter is really helpfull if you want to learn about it. asking "already-hunderts-of-time-anwsered" questions is just too lazy.
sorry, if i'm a little rude at you, but in the last time such question where asked just too much... folks, this is a forum, not a hotline!!
for your second question, do a search, and you'll found out why you don't need to backup the rom. if you still want to backup after this, if think, you'll find the answer on how to do it in the wiki...
If there is a SHIP ROM for your carrier, no real reason to backup since you can revert to this.
You will most likely need to use uSPL to temporarily SuperCID your device to allow it to flash any ROM as they are CID-locked. Unlocked simply means it does not have a network/SP lock on it.

I understand, but if it's something that comes up often, maybe the mods should make a static post about it? Thats usually to avoid ppl asking the same questions all the time..
Thanks for your input though
good point about the sticky. or we could add it to the wiki, i'll see what i can do in the next few days, but anyone is invited to contribute too (now i'm gettin' lazy, hihi)

Same situation here and I had to run the USPL proc to get the new ROM onto my device.
Thanks for all the input
I actually followed Dr Matin Gonzo's guide to update to his rom and it worked perfectly,
I even got to backup my old rom (using the wiki + the SDA Unlock tool)

Sorry to hear that you are having problems; however, you might not find help here since your device is not an HTC windows mobile device and there might not be many people familiar with your device. You might be better off returning it to the vendor for warranty repair or replacement.
You won't be able to upgrade to WM 6.1 as your device is not supported in this forum and if you flashed a WM 6.1 ROM for another device to yours you would likely brick your phone. There might not even be anyone here in this forum who could even tell you how to unlock your phone or even enter into bootloader. Contact the manufacturer of your device to see if they have official upgrades available.
Sorry that this might not be much help but most people here are only familiar with HTC Windows Mobile devices and other HTC made devices. I researched your device and it does not seem to be made by HTC. Good Luck
It seems that you have a settings problem. I would check with the carrier or the manufacturer.
As far as WM 6.1, you'll probably have to wait until either Spice releases an official update or until someone is able to port it. So far, hotrod101 is correct, I have searched a while and there doesn't seem to be much information regarding your phone (let alone development on it).
Good luck!
Thanx guys, for ur valuable time and help.

I Know this is not an HTC device but u all are geeks in the windows mobile atlest cook one rom be it 6.1 will also do and let me also tell you that its a good phone neday then carying two cells.
Please atlest 1 ROM 6.1 or 6.5 will also do the needful.
Boss u all can do it by doing this you all can be champs not only of HTC but also of many other brand.
I just got a new HTC Trophy and I have been doing extensive reading about unlock options, etc.
Just to give you a quick overview, I have dev unlocked my phone (as a student), and am running NoDo. I know that I cannot run ChevronWP7 on this phone as NoDo was required for CDMA networks.
My question is- can I somehow get a non-dev unlock (i.e., an unlimited sideload unlock) using Mango? I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anywhere that detailed this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hmm this question is better asked at the HTC Trophy section.
I'm still not that experienced so bare with me.
Lets see first if we can do something about this without Flashing your ROM.
First can you sideload 3rd Party apps? Say the U2M7720.XAP file on this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287505
Because from my understanding that Dev-Unlock = ChevUnlock ?
If you can sideload this app and use it then follow the steps on that thread to the letter and you should have Mango with Unlock + INTEROP-UNLOCK.
Now in case you can't sideload apps, only solution is to flash a ROM with Mango Jailbroken. Check these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269652
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
Couple of tips:
1- If you choose the Flashing method, READ every single warning and step, you don't want to end up with a Bricked/Half-Bricked device.
2- Take a full backup before trying to mess around with your phone.
3- Have a copy of your original ROM, try hitting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924333
Let me know how it goes for you.
Thanks for the reply. After reading your post and looking at your threads, I am even more confused than ever.
So, yes I have already sideloaded 2 apps (not the one you referenced in your post)- I have a dev (student) unlocked phone, so I guess I can sideload up to 3 apps...
The 1st link - isn't that for phones that were unlocked via ChevronWP7?
Any assistance (and hand-holding ) would be greatly appreciated.

You can try this which some have reported working. I have the exact same phone as you with the original ROM and this did not work for me so if it works for you please let me know.

Hi - here is my post to another thread explaining where this failed for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18372718&postcount=13
So LiFePo4, what is your end goal, to be interop-unlocked (i.e., sideload more than 10 apps), or just dev-unlocked on Mango?
Xenohart, do you have experience getting the HTC Trophy unlocked (> 10 sideloaded apps)?

Interop-unlock so I can sideload homebrews such as ACT or Registry Editor from Schaps and others. Dev-unlock does not enable you to sideload any homebrews.
So are you running Mango w/Interop-unlock, or NoDo?
I have two phones (one is wife's). Hers is Mango but locked (until I find a way to interop-unlock; I can do a dev-unlock but it doesn't buy me anything right now). My phone is NoDo Dev-unlocked and interop-unlocked. I am staying on NoDo for other reasons but like having the interop-unlock
I believe Ansar and Heathcliff are on the verge of a breakthrough.
Ansar will release something in the coming days (hopefully), as it seems he found a way to unlock official Mango. So for the guys unable to unlock the Trophy, keep your eyes open.

any progress with this? links to heathcliff and ansar? I'm new to the process.

You need HTC connection setup to interop unlock and it was pulled off the marketplace so unless your phone had it on from the start.... might be screwed
Iam stuck on nodo with a cdma sprint arrive because of this.
@snapz54: Heathcliff74, Ansar, and most of the other folks working on HTC interop-unlocks, myself included, mostly post on the Development and Hacking sub-forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=606). Please read the stickies before posting there; it's not a Q&A forum the way this one is.

@GoodDayToDie: Thanks for that info - the problem for myself is that it is almost impossible to find answers to specific questions on the Development/Hacking forum (or on any forum here for that matter). There isn't a centralized Wiki/FAQ on issues/questions like this. I find that the stickies usually are tens of pages long and just when you're about to find an answer, the post you think contains the answer mentions 2 or 3 other forum posts that it links to to get the answer, so by the time I think I've found answer, I have like 10 different tabs open in my browser, all for various forum posts that were linked from one of the main stickies.
I've gotten both "Yes you can upgrade to Mango with a Verizon-based HTC Trophy and keep it interop unlocked" and "No it is not possible at this time". If you could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my mini-rant.
@Avazee: The search feature on these forums could be a lot better, but it does exist. You can also just use an external search engine (Bing/Google/whatever) and do a search with " site:xda-developers.com" to find things.
I don't know for sure if it's currently possible to Interop-unlock a Trophy, or any HTC phone. My HD7 is interop-unlocked, but I've heard the method I used (coming from the beta) doesn't work anymore. The usual approaches mentioned to getting interop-unlocked on HTC Mango rely on an app called U2M7720, by ansar.ath.gr. This app provisions your phone through the pre-release Mango update process, which should give you a window between updates where you can interop-unlock Mango.
Using the retail upgrade path will not work. You will need to roll back; nobody currently knows a way to interop-unlock an HTC phone that is already on Mango. Alternatively, there are custom ROMs for HTC phones that provide Mango with interop-unlock already baked in.
Sorry that I am a noob, but I have been reading threads for a couple hours and haven't found a source that will answer my question.
What is the easiest way to get JB on my HOX?
I have ran into some that seem easy but only to find that I need a CID of HTC_xxx where mine is CWS_001. After a post directing me to this forum I have continued to try to find something to help me get JB and no luck. If there is a post that describes this please reply with it, or if anyone would be kind enough to post directions on how to do this that would be greatly appreciated.
Again, sorry that I am a noob at this, first Android phone, switched from iOS after Apple's disappointing "new phone", aka iPhone 4s with an extra row of icons.
Thanks!

First, you can use this tool to easily root your phone, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426), then flash any JB ROM you like and just follow the instructions.

You have to change your CID from the AT&T default before you can unlock anyway. Once you do that, it doesn't matter anymore.

The CID will be changed to 1111111 before you can unlock your phone and then root, so don't worry about that. Happy flashing!

Ok...all these noobs getting the phone for free are now pissing me off completely. If you want to overcome being a noob, you have to put in time to read and search. DO NOT DO ANYTHING BEFORE FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH THE INFORMATION AT HAND
Being a noob means you should have at least watched the noob video when signing up. If you did not you broke the first rule of XDA and you need to watch it. If you did watch it(which I suspect you did not) you would know to search and read before posting. The community is here to answer questions we all have, but not questions that have been answered over and over again. Nor to spoon feed you.
oh ****...i know whats going to happen after he gets it rooted.......Don't you?? i see a brick coming up from attempting to flash the EVO OTA.
zac507, there is no official jb sense for our phone. someone should of stated that in the first reply shame on ALL of you. if you read his OP you would see he already tried flashing the endeavoru jb rom which is why he got the CID error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044729
Here are GREAT guides for noobs basically from start to finish here. When I was first starting I made a Q&A thread ONLY after reading enough to where I was confused and not confident in going forward without consulting others.....The key here is that you need to read and understand what you are doing first before you ask for help otherwise what good is the help?
Anyways, good luck reading and hopefully everything goes well

Thank you to everyone (except Chef). I will continue to read and do research before rooting or flashing my phone.
Chef, I have read through the forums quite a lot, asked others who have flashed other Android devices and watched many video tutorials on the subject. But before doing anything I wanted to ask a specific question that I did not see in the forums to get a clear and concise answer. Since I PAID for my phone, I do not want to brick it, hence my thread. I suggest you pull your over-inflated tech ego out of your swollen rear and learn to read. I said I was a noob at this. Noobs have questions. People on forums answer questions to help them. You, on the other hand, just act like a prick and contribute nothing to the thread. Thanks for absolutely no helpful information, please stop posting on any forum if this is how you do it.
Again, thank you to everyone else who replied. You were very helpful!

Where do I begin to correct this post?
First, let's start with the fact that you asked "what is the easiest way to get JB on HOX?" Well assuming you read, and searched and etc. you wouldn't need to ask that question considering you would have had the answer already because you in fact read and you would know that you can flash countless JB roms if bootloader unlocked and rooted.
My over inflated tech ego must have got in the way though. Even though you asked a question which is so similar to all the other JB related questions asked on this forum.
Obviously you need to continue to read(skimming and reading are different) considering the fact that you try to run an international RUU on your phone...
I was looking out for your best interest, if you want to take it to a personal level and call me a prick so be it, but I sure hope I help ingrained the fact that you need to read more before tinkering.
I think my rear is swollen I should go lay down
Zac, if you have any trouble or need help I for one would be willing to help, sent you a pm so we don't offend anyone else in here.

Where the heck is "over there"? I assume some other device.
If somebody with 400+ posts on here doesn't get the purpose of custom ROMs, what the heck have you been doing here all this time?
hi i have a S2- I9100T and i tried to flash cyanogenmod 12.1 but while attempting, it failed to do it and got stuck on the screen. so i removed the battery and now it constantly boots to the recovery. . i tried a version compatible to S2- I9100 which is not the same model as mine but i read somewhere that it could work.
You will probably have to revert back to stock and try again, next time, follow the actual tutorial for your device. If not you could well run into a problem like this one. As a general rule, if you do your reading and you still have a problem, someone has had that problem before and so you can probably find your answer through more reading. I have have friends who use XDA every day and don't even have an account because most real problems are discussed.
Make sure when you post this that you are on the correct forum, you would be likely to receive more help in the S2 forums, and make sure you have your device model and the Rom you flashed in the post so they can provide more assistance.

No worries. I used to have this device so I felt your pain.
